No article gives a separate date for either operation; 17 September 2025 is the publication date of all three accounts and is used as the incident date.
No arrests, detentions or police-custody placements are reported for either street operation.
No value, street price or number of people involved is published for the seized cannabis.
The Karib'Info and RCI accounts appear to reproduce the gendarmerie's own published figures rather than independent reporting.
The second photo is captioned only as illustrating the daily anti-trafficking effort in Guadeloupe and is not confirmed to show this seizure specifically.
The two operations are reported together as one sweep; they are covered in one report rather than split.
Customs officers seized 40 kg of cannabis products from a Spanish UPS truck at the Fontaine toll on the A36 on 9 November 2026. Two Spain-based delivery drivers, aged 36 and 46, were detained after admitting they acted as “mules” for a load collected in Madrid.
Police seized about 100 kilos of drugs, mainly cannabis with some cocaine, from a nourrice stash flat supplying deal points in Vénissieux's Joliot-Curie sector. The reports give only a combined weight, so no cannabis-only quantity can be recorded.
Six people were taken into custody after searches across Corrèze and Saône-et-Loire linked to the Kannathera CBD chain; police seized 444.1 kg of cannabis, 190.2 kg of it resin. The Brive prosecutor's office said four suspects were placed under judicial supervision pending trial and two others were summoned to court.
On 3 November 2026 a Paris court ended a mother's social-housing lease after several kilos of cannabis and cash were found in her son's bedroom, put at 6.5 kg. The court accepted she paid rent, had no neighbour complaints and knew nothing of her son's activity.
